I have a long complicated macro that processes a ton of data and gives the output in a new sheet. I then want to create new buttons (or some sort of user clickable triggers) on this new sheet that runs another macro.

I have got the actual adding of buttons in the sheet working, but I can't find a way to automatically assign macros to newly generated buttons during runtime. Is this even possible (or are there any clever tricks I could use to get around this?)

Essentially, I am working with a database for a school and up until this point, each row matches up to a student with a bunch of information on them. One of these pieces of info is their parent's names. This is a much simplified look at things, but the screenshot below is a basic version of what everything looks like:

Now, the school wants me to split up the parents names from the student's and place them in their own row. I have recorded a macro to do this where you make the active cell the "full name" column for the row you want to expand, and then run the macro. Afterwards, up to two more rows are added, with the parent's names and some data copied. Below is a screenshot of what that looks like: (yellow is the new data generated, and blue is the active cell I marked to run the macro properly)

The issue is that there are thousands of these that need to be done, and I figured there is a way to do this with a macro. The issue is that not every row has parents names to expand out.

In layman's terms, I need a macro that will look at the two columns titled "Father's Name" and "Mother's Name" on each row of the spreadsheet and then, if there is any data in both or either of them, it should set the active cell to the "Full Name" column for that row then run the macro accordingly. After that it should repeat this all the way down, skipping any where neither of the columns have text in them

In the actual spreadsheet, the columns that need to be checked are AW and AX, and the column that needs to be set to the active cell before running the macro is B.

i need to make a macro that takes workbooks or files andruns them through another macro. i already have the 2nd macrodone and it is working perfectly i just need to know how to make the onethat finds the other files and runs them all through the macro i already made. My boss said that he will have about 150-200 files to run through this macro.

It copies certain sheets out of a workbook (for a new workbook)Unprotect the sheets in the new workbookDeletes a particular cell on each sheetUnhides a sheetSets all of the new worksheets to normal viewProtects the new sheetsLets the user save and name the new workbook.

All is working fine Except it will not change the new workbook from Page Break View to Normal view.

The code I'm using = Sheets("name").ActivateActivewindow.View=xlNormal

Here's the strangest part. When I run the macro from a command button, the newly created workbook retains the page break view (as is in the original).

I have created a macro in xl2000 which was working fine - although through corporate upgrades my machine has now been upgraded with xl2003 and the macro runs for a bit and then crashes on the code below, although it only highlights teh 'rnum'

I have a macro which reads data from a large number (up to 500) of books in a folder. This extracted information is subject to some fairly heavy analysis which means that the macro runs very slowly as the sheet is constantly calculating.

I would like to add some code - maybe after 'screen updating = false' - that would turn off auto calculation while the macro runs and then restore it once the macro is finished.

i have a button on my workbook1 that opens another workbook (lets call it workbook2) and automatically runs a macro on opening it. Once opened i have a button on workbook2 to close itself. I then go back to see workbook1. This all works but then when i click on the button to open the workbook2 again it opens but the macro does not run.

I searched for this and found a few examples on splash screens, but if someone could help I would appreciate it.

Basically I have this massive macro that runs, I recorded some of it, and VBA the rest. It does a bunch of things like bringing in different spreadsheets, formatting vlookups blah blah blah... Anyway for a nice touch I was hoping that I could get a splash screen or something that will run while this macro is running in the background. How hard would this be? The macro is button driven...

I have a macro in my worksheet that runs as a change event on certain comment cells. This macro unprotects the worksheet, expands the merged comment cell that just change, and re-protects the worksheet. The cell expansion works great. When I re-protect the worksheet all of the cells work correctly, except the cell that was just changed. Any other "unlocked" cell in the document stays unlocked after the protection is applied, but the cell that just changed becomes locked. I need this cell to remain unlocked to allow the user to update the comments. Here is my full

I have a spreadsheet that is made up of single line items with sub-totals at various points going down the sheet (ie the spreadsheet is split into sections)

Each section is about 100 rows long and 40 columns wide, 10 of which are sub-totals, all using the same formula from that i enter in column A.

As i add new sections i have recorded a simple macro that copies the active cell (ie A15 for example). It then pastes into D15, F15, H15, N15, X15 and then returns to A15.I have linked this up to ctrl X for ease of running.

I have around 500 section totals to "ctrl X", per spreadsheet and 10 spreadsheets to do in total. I have firstly filtered all the line items (rows) out to leave me just the sub-totals to [ctrl x] [arrow down] [ctrl x] [arrow down] [ctrl x] etc etc etc....Is there anyway to automate this process, i have tried recording another macro of me [ctrl x] [arrow down] about 30 times, but when i run it, it pastes on the hidden rows, not just on what you see on the screen. Is there a bit of code i can enter so it only sees what is visible.??

I have a peice of code which opens up a number of Workbooks (200+) and updates a series of control tables in each. Given our security etc environment, links and external references etc are not possible. The target files must all be standalone and self-sufficient.

The problem I have is that when I run the procedure in question in the usual way, the procedure simply terminates after the first file is opened. No error messages, no distress - it just stops. I have put debugging calls all around the "Workbook.Open" call, and it simply doesn't make it out of the call. There is no Auto_Open code in the workbooks being opened and (as I indicated above) no external links, references or function calls.

What's weird is that if I step through the procedure in the Command Debugger, everything works fine. Even weider, if I complete step-by-step processing on the first target file then I can press "Play" and the code will complete execution and process all the remaining files without error.

I have rebuilt/recreated/re-ordered the target files and even moved them to a different volume.

If anyone has seen this before, or has any idea what the cause may be, or even just a wild idea, I'd love to hear it.

I have a button. When pressed, it runs a macro. Instead, after pressing the button, I would like the user to confirm to run the macro and display some info about it. This is to make sure the user does not accidentally run the wrong macro (button). I just need a prompt box, with a line info, and the two choices YES and NO. If NO is selected, nothing happens. If YES is selected, macro continues.

I got a code that makes an animated userform popup (web browser in userform). that works smoothly. but, when I have that code before two more codes. The userform does show, but the animation does not. Until all the following two codes are finished running. The purpose was to have the animation running while the two codes are being processed.

This macro ran fine until I started using Offset on ranges to have them extend. The macro replaces "L" with blanks but does not go on to delete the rows. The name "Type" refers to =Offset(Mem05!$A$2,0,0, CountA(Mem05!$A$2:$A$270),10)

I have a spreadsheet with sales figures for a company over a few months. I want to create a macro that will insert a new month after the last month. I have got it to work for the first month but after that it will just insert 2 black cells after.

i have a named cell called Average_slales_per_month that is next to the last month all the time.

I have a workbook that contains 9 worksheets. Four of the worksheets have the same row lables in column B and must always be the same. Three of the worksheets are fed from the 4th sheet so that the integrity of the lables is maintained.

The user can change the lable value to meet their needs and they can insert or delete rows (within limits) as they see fit.

The attached macro "Sub Delete_Row_All_Sheets()" works fine when I run it from Debug (F8).

However, when I run it from Forms.ComboBox the macro returns to the "y = Application.InputBox("Enter The Row Number You Wish To Delete", _" screen. If I select cancel, the results I anticipated occur but I don't want the user to have to assume this will happen.

Why does the macro return to this screen when executed from the ComboBox but not when executed from Debug?

I have a macro on a particular workbook that runs when the workbook closes.

This runs fine when I close the workbook itself. If I happen to have other workbooks open and then I close EXCEL rather than an individual workbook, my macro that runs on close always runs when it is not the active workbook.

To put it another way, say that my 'run on close' macro is workbook 1. I also have workbooks 2 and 3 open as well. If workbook 3 is the active workbook and I choose to close Excel (and thus close all three workbooks), my 'run on close' macro runs straight away and, worse still, will run it on workbook 3 (my active workbook).

How can I stop the macro running until it is the active workbook in the closing chain, so that it only runs on the correct workbook? (workbook 1 in my example)

I have a splash screen I want to display while a macro runs. I've created all the necessary code based on information from this site but have a question about where to actually put the code as all the example I've seen are based on workbook open events.

I tried placing my code

UserForm1.Show

with in the macro I waned the splash screen to be displayed during but that doesn't work. Well, it does, but not as I intended. The splash screen pops up for the specified duration as part of the macro stopping the macro, then closes and the rest of the macro finishes running.

Do i need to call the splash screen from a certain point in the macro I wish it to be displayed during? I dont want the macro to stop running while the splash screen is showing.

I have a number of pivots in a workbook. Well, I created a macro that updates the data sheets (located in the same workbook) and every time I run the macro, my data source for pivots changes and doesn't pull in all the columns. I'm at a loss as to why that happens (Although, I think it has something to do with macro deleting some columns and adding new ones).

I have written a macro which references to several different sheets and cells therein. The macro is assigned to a command button on 'Sheet 1'. When I click the command button, the screen flickers and the user can see the macro running all the commands I have written. Is there a way of stopping this - maybe replacing it with a static screen view whilst the macro runs?

My command buttons are moving location after I run a macro. I have a worksheet with 5 command buttons from the forms toolbar. When the macro is run, another command button is moved into the cell that the macro ends in, how can I stop this?

I have a modal userform that I load to warn the user that the system is busy processing a scheduled job. The form is nothing more than a screen that comes up and says "One moment please..." with the form caption set to "Processing...". When I use the form in this way, if I don't use an application.wait command the form just shows the header without the text that it shows when I look at in the in the VBA IDE. (In other words it is just blank.)

So I have a worksheet that has a lot of macros in it. I have just barely run into a problem that happens anytime a change a cell in another workbook that I have open. The second workbook I have open isn't even a macro enabled workbook. But for some reason it gives me an error and says I am trying to run this code.

[Code] ....

It gives me the runtime error 9. This code is supposed to run when I click on a combobox in my main workbook but it is running anytime I change something in my other simple workbook. Why this happens and how to stop it? I have had a lot of similar problems in the past but I just dealt with it by only having one workbook open but in this case I will need both.

On my work computer (Excel 2010, Win 7) when I am stepping through my VBA code using F8 and come to a Workbooks.Open line, the macro automatically kicks in and runs through to the end instead of just stepping to the next line of code. This happens nearly every time but occasionally it works as it should. To prevent this, I have to put a breakpoint on the next line following Workbooks.Open and after that I can step (F8) through the rest of the code. I have never had this problem before and it doesn't happen on my home computer.

I am trying to do a very simple Macro for merging data. My problem is that the macro works when I am stepping through in debugger, but does not work when I am in excel and I use the shortcut key (crtl + m) to run the macro. What happens when it doesn't work properly is it selects rows 2 and 3 and tries to paste them to the new workbook and I get an error saying the cells are not the correct type. I don't want it to do this because rows 2 and 3 are titles and have nothing to do with the data I am moving. As I said before, when I open VBE and step through the code it works just fine. The error only happens when there is no data on the initial work sheet.

I'm trying to build a macro that iteratively runs a goal seek, then reduces a certain value (Let's call it "Bogey") in a different cell by a small amount (note that changing Bogey will affect the desired goal seek value), then runs the goal seek again, reduces Bogey by a small amount again, etc etc, and keeps running in this loop, with the restriction on this loop being that a different cell, affected by Bogey--let's call it "Constraint"--doesn't drop below a certain amount.

Okay, I have this code and it works very well - but it only works if my WORKBOOK is unprotected. I know how to Unprotect then Protect an ActiveSheet, but I can't figure out how to Unprotect then Protect my workbook when the macro runs..

I'm trying to make a macro to keep track of our rental properties. This macro, in another variant, worked as planned, searching for data in a column, copying the row to a new sheet, and clearing the contents of that row. So I've tried to make it search for a date in a new workbook and do the same. It runs, and tells me it has returned zero significant results (did not find data to move and delete).My column I is formatted mm/dd/yy . And the rest of the workbook is protected.Here's what I have:

Sub CopyReturns()'Macro written 10/2/08 by JeffActiveSheet.UnprotectDim DestSheet As WorksheetSet DestSheet = Worksheets("Sheet2")Dim sRow As Long 'row index on source worksheetDim dRow As Long 'row index on destination worksheetDim sCount As LongsCount = 0............

Is there a way to prevent the Workbook_SheetChange event macro from triggering when I run Excel's Solver?

The solver goes through 100 or so iterations changing multiple cells each of which seemed to trigger the Workbook_SheetChange event. If there was a Solver Run event, I could turn off application events, but as far as I know such an event does not exist.

I have a group of Excel (2003) template files, each with a different name. When these files are opened they ask for certain information and save themselves as a unique name. Within these files are VBA routines and functions and, because these files basically do the same things, they have the same name. These routines exist in their own unique modules each with a different name. Unfortunately, in these files there are differences in the number of columns of information these routines act on so once they have been saved I need them to only act on their own columns only.

My problem is, when I have more than 1 of these files open in the same instance of Excel, I try to run a file using a control letter combination Ctrl-e and it sometimes runs the version of the macro in the wrong file. This leads to all kinds of strange thing happening. What I can do to force the correct macro to work in all instances?

I have a macro that copies data from several workbooks saved in a particular folder to a master workbook.

The problem is that this macro only works when it is included as a module in the master workbook. Unfortunately, I cannot ask the users of this macro to insert a module, copy the code and run it each time they want to consolidate the master workbook. Therefore, I wanted to use this code by including it in a Add-In that I already prepared. The problem is that this consolidation macro does not run when it is in an add-in. Create a code that I can include in a macro add in that would insert a module in the master file, include the code that I already have, run it and then delete the module? The add-in would be password protected.
